🚨🎙️Thierry Henry: “I was there in the beginning of Messi’s freekicks and they were not great… yes he’s gifted but this guy was coming taking freekicks after freekicks in training. Now more often than not he scores them.”
So I didn’t get picked for the World Cup
Poet said I wouldn’t be starting because I don’t fit into the system he wants to play and he believes I’d be a distraction in the dressing room

🗣️ Dembélé names the toughest defenders he’s ever faced after his hat-trick against Norway:
🗣️ “I’ve played against many top defenders, but if I had to pick two, it would be Saliba and Gabriel.
Saliba is incredibly composed, intelligent, and physically dominant. Gabriel is aggressive, powerful, and one of the hardest defenders to beat in one-vs-one situations.
When you face them together, you don’t get space, you don’t get time. Every duel feels like a battle.
The Champions League final proved exactly that. They frustrated us for 120 minutes, closed every passing lane and made every touch difficult. We were fortunate to come through on penalties because they pushed us to our absolute limit. That’s what world class defenders do.
Guehi, Semenyo and now Anderson all on 300k a week,all in the last 6 months. While Saka is the only Arsenal player on 300k
Media in November - "Arsenal have to win the league, they must win the league if they don't Arteta has failed again"
If we have gone in with a £55m bid, then we know it won't take much more to get him. They have probably got the all clear from the player to bid. Arsenal and Berta ain't stupid. I reckon £65m max will get him.
So many people are stuck in their ways regarding Bruno Guimarães,and his age. We dont need to buy a player and worry about resale value. We can buy players who are primed and ready to win now, without worrying about whether we could make our money back in 4 years.
We are very healthy financially. We dont need to balance the books like some clubs have to. We are in a period where we can be dominant for years, and that means buying ready-made players to take us to even newer heights.
Enjoy the ride, after years of shopping in bargain bins we are now acting like a big club again and long may it continue.
This solo goal by Lionel Messi against Real Madrid CF remains one of the greatest goals in football history. 🐐🔥
Messi made a prime Madrid side look ordinary that day. 👑✨
